Guild Wars 2

Thanks for the answer.

muslumgurseks.4951:

Have you checked temps?

I posted above a little about the temps, but I’m keeping an eye on them.

You mentioned that you are using the same mobo except one is x3 the other is x4 are you both running the same bios?

No, we are using the same hardware (cpu, graphic card, ram, power supply, hdd) EXCEPT the motherboard.
The Bios is something i’d prefer not to touch. I think i can break there too many things.

Also update the graphics drivers with the latest beta from Amd website.

We are both using the same driver version with the same settings, but I might give the beta driver a shot.

Since we are both using nearly the same hardware spec, I thought, this might be due to some additional software I installed f.e. through playing a different game. I already installed the newest DirectX9 Version, is there anything else, I should take a look at?

1.) Additional PvP-Inventive: “Skin-Token” costs about 1.000 glory. Place this token into Mystic Forge with an Item Token, Arcane Token an Rank Token to create a skin item, which can be used in pve.

Why only 1.000 glory? The first item skins you get via PvP are also very easy to obtain in PvE.
For more special skins you have to invest more glory into it anyways due to the random change, or more time, due to the rank tokens.

In addition you can always add new hard to get pvp skins, with which you then can use in pve too.

You don’t want the people f.e. to not be able to transfer the vigil skin from pvp to pve? Then don’t implement this receipt into the mystic forge.

2.) You should host every pve event also in pvp. It’s a great idea to get the pve-backback items via an achievement, but why are we not getting this in pvp?
I’d suggest adding a list of achievements in pvp, which you have to do, to get this skins also in pvp. (f.e. fire 5 trebuchet shots in kylo, kill a shark, carry one orb, activate 10 buffs, capture 50 bases)

• Deleted gw2cache in …/user/name/appdata/local/temp like suggested in another thread, but the problem sill exists.

You mean something like this: http://www.guildwars2pro.com/#!tournament/cjg9

Here you can watch the matches: http://www.twitch.tv/qqtrooper34/videos?kind=past_broadcasts

I think there is no one, who does not want more build diversity / more viable builds.
The Devs have already mentioned it very often, so I personally don’t see a point in making an additional thread for that.

GW2 is still a game, a game is meant to be beatable and playable. I like to have a challenge like the clocktower-jumping puzzle from Halloween, but I think you can remember to what this has led to.

As for the classes: I don’t really see any class or spec which will take more then 10 minutes to play effective on a normal level, but there are still player getting more out of their class, then other can ever image to do (and are often disappointed, because they can’t reach their skill level) (f.e. have you ever seen someone playing an engineer as good as Teldo?)

Still, every constructive suggestion to make the game better is always welcome!

Hi,

my girlfriend is having technical problems while playing gw2.

problem description
The game freezes for a couple of seconds, during this time no sound is played.
The freeze is followed up by a short black screen, during which the sound is playing again.
Most of the time we are playing spvp, and this problem occurs once every three games played.
No Blue Screen or any other error message.

hardware description
Intel i5-3450 @ 3.1 GHz
AMD Radeon HD 7770
8 GB RAM
Windows 7 64 Bit
We are both running the same hardware except the motherboard, and i don’t have any problems.
My motherboard: ASRock Z77 Pro4-M
Her motherboard: ASRock Z77-Pro3
(both with the graphic card on the PCIe 3.0 slot)

previous attempts

• Uninstalled the graphic cards driver with “driver fusion”, installed the newest driver
• Installed the newest version of DirectX 9
• Uninstalled and newly installed Guild Wars 2 including deleting the local.dat
• Installed SIW (System Information for Windows) for watching temperature, they are all around ~35°, her CPU is peaking with 50° while my SIW only shows a max of 44°, but I don’t think that’s the problem.
• Ran GameAdviser, text file attached

1.) additional spvp-incentives to show around in pve&wvw
(like special weapon or armor skins)
2.) solo queue
3.) increasing build variety

Well, except Capricorn you still have the underwater area in the Temple of the Silent Storm. You are right, most of the time it’s not a big deal, by why should you cripple yourself?

I’m really confused, why you can see so often people using a divinity rune for the breathing apparatus.

Directly from wikipedia:

Breathing apparatuses are automatically switched with the equipped headgear, so to keep the same bonuses while underwater, both headgear and breathing apparatus must have the same rune.

It’s also easy to test this out. Just place a rune with +Vitality in the breathing apparatus, and you can see, that on land, nothing has changed. Now, when you went under water, you can see the life increase, and you can also recognize the loosing of the 6th set bonus (test this out with 6 centaur runes) .

I would recommend everyone to take for the breathing apparatus the same rune you have on your headgear

Congratulation!

Ignore the jealous haters.

What’s up with Chieftain Ninjas? Are they unable to play, or did they already drop out? I really liked to watch their stream back in the old year.

Date: 2013-05-14
Start: 18:00 p.m (GMT + 0:00) on 12th May

So, do the matches start on the 12th or 14th of May?

Thanks for organizing and hosting such a tournament! Can’t wait to watch the stream!

Don’t be afraid! You are not alone! Same problem here while leaving the SAB.

Edit: Server Riverside

For me it looks like the log in screen show the achivement-titel, you have earned.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/PvP_Conqueror

You don’t get the titel immediatly after you reached rank 20, you need some more points.

Hi,

my girlfriend is not listed on the tpvp-leaderboard.

• When she logs in, we can see her percentage on the achievement tab, but not on the tpvp tab.

• When I filter through guilds, I can even see people playing only 11 matches, and in the spvp-forum you can read about people with only a 5% rating, but I still can’t find her.

• There is not an open ticket / name infraction. She can play with every char of hers, and she is listed in the achievement tab.

What weapon are you using? I think you picked up one of the violet / legandary static weapons, which are just for testing. Pick up an orange / exotic one

Yeah, look into the leaderboard, some of the players haven’t even played 10 games yet.

Still want to know, why i played against a Top 25 team last time, while i’m not even yet on the list.

System must be bugged.

I also don’t care who are the first top 100 people, I want to know where I stand, and where my enemys are standing….

A week ago I played my first few matches since December, but ended up playing against one of the Top Rank 25 player.

1.) Any thoughts on the matter of teleport-spells? Are you fine with some classes being able to teleport onto all kind of objects and through walls?

(some examples: Infiltrator’s Arrow onto the roof of the clock tower, blink through the wall of the clock tower, Lightning Flash from the side-path of the keep up to the balcony, [lowell aired some videos of different teleport spots] or simple by using Judge’s Intervention onto a marked target, you were not able to see, but due to the game mechanic, you are able to port to, even through wall)

I think the new map made this subject even more concerning.

2.) A lot of people are talking in this thread about solo-queue, but what’s about groups ranging between two and four members, unable to get a full five man group?

Same problem here. Normal Server is Riverside, but it only lags for me in pvp.

Same problem here, in the time, at the same time i completed the last event, and got an level up, leading to 6 complete categories. => no reward.

Gilgamesh.2561:

Teutos.8620:

For me, there is still an important question open: Are you able to play without a full 5 man group in the new tournament system?

Yes, they have no reason to remove PuGing.

The more important question is when will they put PuGing and premades into two separate tPvP queues.

(I realize this is hypocritical to what I just mentioned about splitting queues, but this is different in that PuGs are nothing but fodder to premades and the two should never face each other)

When you split the queues, you can also spit the rating, which would be perfect. Then I can play solo / duo, and can earn a rating whenever not my whole guild is online.

If the rating will not be split, then whenever i’ll try to play solo, the rating, my team has acquired, will be active. Sure, I’ll play that way with people, with the same rating, but most of the time, you’ll have to play against full team, due to the fact, that you only got that high rating, through playing with your team (with the advantage of ts or skype communication and a team constellation)

For me, there is still an important question open: Are you able to play without a full 5 man group in the new tournament system?

1.) Are there any plans to add rewards to the spvp system, from which you can benefit in the rest of the game (pve&wvw)? Like the opportunity to level in spvp up to 80, or getting some gold or items.

2.) Are there any plans, once the rating system is implemented, to allow paid solo or dual queue?

3.) Any details you can share about new spvp-incentives? At the start, getting new ranks was for me a big encouragement to play spvp (including hot join and free-solo-q-tpvp). But once i hit rank 40, that encouragement was gone. Now i have only fun playing with friends, which is a rare occurrence due to time arrangements.

4.) What do you think about strong, nearly must-have utilities like instant rez, time warp, portal…

5.) Can you share some details like the them about the next planed event?

best wishes

(I hope your company is in a good financial situation, and does not have any problems paying the electricity and/or heater bill due to problems with the light and the hood… just kidding)

Have you checked the pvp-locker? They can now be played inside them.

Thanks!
I though such a thread would be best placed in the bug forum, since it looks like a bug

In every other instance including pvp, you can just rejoin… but not when that happens inside the fractals. Please fix that!

Syeria.4812:

Did he indicate they might change the HP% a player is revived at?

No.

Last patch, they changed the HP, a player has while he is in the down state to 75% of the HP value, they where before. Now he is talking to readjust the value to 80-85% of the HP value from before the last patch. So, that everyone might get more life while in down state, to make it more difficult to just get killed by dpsing the downed player, without the need to stomp them.

Thanks for the discussion and the infos!

One questing came up on my mind: When you have a rating system in the paid tournament, are people with low rating also able to get qualifier points, for winning the tournament on their rating level?

• This:
  [quote=Rythgar.2896]Can we get a statement from Arena Net about the recent interest ESL.eu made about picking up GW2 for their amateur league? Will this impact their work in any way?[/quote]

• What is the position from arenanet about introducing a rating system in tpvp? (like wvw has)

I’m also a fan of the current speed of the fights. A nice mix between tanks and class cannons.

Thats a lot better than getting killed by a headshot from a sniper and a lot better that fighting a 20-45min Match against a Healer+DD Combo in a 2v2 arena.

Well done for linking the post here!

For the rest, i can just agree with Rythgar and Niptease.

Another idea to this topic:

Making the existing items trade-able would resolve in giving them a value in the trading post too.

So how do we solve the problem: Making glory exchangeable to gold, or reward the players with gold (in addition to the glory)

The problem with gold is, that not every pvp player has some. There are many players out there, who only play pvp. Its hard to collect gold from them as an entry fee.

The entry fee should not be a big entry threshold, nothing that can hurt you, to loose it. But in the end, collected from every participator, it should give a little award for the winner.

Hi,

recently we talked about organizing a pvp tournament for fun.

The problem: We would love to give the winner of the tournament some sort of award or price money as a little incentive. But all the interesting pvp items are account bound (like tournament tickets, or pvp mats)

Suggestion: Make (for example) tournament tickets tradeable. Thus we could collect the tickets from every participator, and give them all to the tournament winner.

(Credit for this idea, goes to a guildmate of mine, who posted this idea on the german forum)

best regards

Hi,

is it intended, that you can’t do the jumping puzzle when the starting tree is broken due to the event? Now you have to wait for the npc, to revitalize the tree, before you can do the jumping puzzle.

mfg

Please make your statement clear, why you think its broken. What you would make better etc.

personal opinion:
=> a duelling feature is not necessary

Why?
=> Just go to an empty server with your friend and have fun duelling

=> duelling in the PvE-World (including WvW) would only end up with more QQ, from which we have already enough. In PvE a lot of things concerning the balance work different. Just look at the threads, a lot of people won’t see the difference coming f.e. from the equipment and the different working skills. (Just look at the “omg, i got killed in the WvW”-Threads in the spvp forum)

=> So duelling in the Mists then? Just go to an empty server.

But other people are joining!
=>Yeah, but most of them will listen to a “we are duelling, pls don’t interfere”. And we are getting personalized servers, which will also deal with that.

But can’t we have both?
=> Sorry, development time is limited. Don’t think, that the developer sit around, looking at their game with an evil laugh “muahaha, you want that, but you are not getting that <evil grin>”. Devs care about the game, and they do, what they can.
I can only refer here to the thread in the engi forum https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/engineer/Please-complain-responsibly-from-a-dev-pov/first#post789321

Bug Still existing in pvp!

Loading Screen Bug still exists.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/PvP_reward

You have problems dealing damage with your staff?

Try: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Illusionary_Elasticity

Also remember, that your clones hit with wind of chaos too.
So, lets say, you have 2 clones up + your own attack with Illussionary Elasticity:
so every 45ms you get:
4*0,33% Chance to proc bleeding
4*0,33% Chance to proc burning
4*0,33% Chance to proc vulnerability
So staff 1 is atm powerfull enough.

BTW: Please wait with until 15th for posting more “pls balance this”-posts, because we don’t know, what the 15th is changing.

I would love to have that too.

I would also love to have a time indicator, how long you have time to put down the second part of the portal / the portal exeunt.

MaXi.3642:

in tournaments, you cant join another tournament until the one you are in is finished, you cant leave in fact, its the same like being in and afk

Exactly this!

When ever you try to leave tpvp, you get instantly the loadingscreen transfering you back to the match. (BTW: Thats also the reason, why you can chance your character in tpvp. Because after logging in, you are transfered back to the tournament game)

Yes, let us please have a “don’t show anymore” option.

I really love the down state! It brings so much depth into the game!

Yes, the down state is not funny in 1v1, but when do you have a 1v1?
You don’t have a lot of diversity nor varieties, but i don’t think, thats necessary. Bacause you have your teammates.

atm i’m playing free tournaments (need to practice more for paid), and it is such a fun and diversified element, with a lot of depth, when you try to stomp / revive your teammate.

I haven’t seen every dungeon yet, but in the few i visited, the down state was also fun, because the fight is not over, when you get downed.

<3 the option to zoom out!

Problem still existing here

Same problem here. Stucked on the loading screen after death 5 times now.

I find it annoying too.

Personally i thought everyone would be annoyed after casting this multiple times as soon as the cooldown has expired.
But after the 2 posts before me i realize, that an option to turn this off would be perfect
